<P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0in">To add release, click the plus sign
next to the list of releases. Enter a description, set a date for
expiration and check the Active checkbox. When finished, click the
save button at the bottom of the form. The description can be any
text that concisely describes the release. (e.g. 2010.1.1) The
expiration date determines the date at which the release will no
longer be the default release for reports. The 'Active' checkbox
determines whether the release will appear in the list of releases in
both the reporting and desktop applications.</P>
